: So, how did you do the conversion? I've attempted just printing DocMaker
: files to PDF from my SheepShaver setup, but that always ends up splitting
: images across page boundaries.
: Every once in a while I get the crazy idea to build a DOCMaker reader for OS
: X... Naw, that's Durandal crazy.
Very similarly to the way I converted the Minotaur manual:

The Pathways manual had some extra formatting challenges, though. For instance, to do the text next to the menu pictures, I had to create a Table in TextEdit (which gets really buggy once you get text into it - I get the feeling that TextEdit isn't the best program for doing this sort of thing...). I also had to make more use of ResEdit to get the text out, because text selection is turned off for the Pathways manual.
As for that DOCMaker reader; it may be crazy, but it'd be cool ;)
